WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. THE SUN, LOND LONDON : FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1838. Great complaints are beginning to be made of the condition of the labourers on the land. Not that those poor, spiritless, despairing beings do more than whine and moan over their hard lot, but those who see the extraordinary privations to which they are subject, and, deeply affected by them, as well as fearful that they may lead to social convulsions, step forward, like Mr. FIELDEN, to draw attention to the condition of the labourers on the land. They do not connect this with the Corn-laws, of which some of them are advocates, but we do ; and in another part of our paper we make some remarks, in addition to those we have before made, to show how those laws injure the farmers, and of course strike at the root of the agricul tural labourer's wages. Whether the theory be cor rect or not, the fact is, that the farmers have been in a state of continued distress during the existence of those laws, and now the proofs again accumulate upon us, that the agricultural labourers are in a most deplorable condition. A great, a painful, and in many districts a most unpopular, alteration in the Poor-laws was lately made on account of the distress of the farmers and the degradation of the labourers on t he land ; and now again we are informed that the latter are as bad off, or worse, than everl In a letter from Wiltshire, which we insert, it is said that the average wages of an able-bodied man, in the south-western counties, is Bs. per week ; and the following is the picture of the expenditure of a family forced to subsist on that sum, in this fertile land, over flowing with wealth : Expenditure : —Rent, (say) 93. per week ; fuel, Is. 6d. ; soap, candles, &c., 9d. ; leaving ss. for food. Now, taking the family to consist of a man, his wife, and four children, we lee that it is just 10d. a week for each ; or, allowing them food three times a day, it will give something less than one half penny each meal. Think, Mr. Editor, one moment on the price of wheat at the present time, 1 Is. 6d. a bushel, or ls. 51d. a gallon, and you will perceive that the whole amount of these wages, without allowing one farthing for anything beside, is not enough to supply a sufficiency of the staff of life. Under these circumstances, would you be surprised if you beard of riots, robberies, and burnings ? You ought not. This state of things is not - confined to Wiltshire. We can answer for the peasantry in a considerable part of Kent being in a very little better condition. There was a meeting at Chelmsford in Essex, too, a few days ago, at which the following language was held : Mr. Fiske urged the farmers, now that they were making a good price for their wheat, to pay their labourers in propor tion ; and Mr. Gent added—" The landlords, when times were bad, went in hand in hand with you, and reduced your rents—do you in turn assist the labourer. The Poor-law has clipped his wings, and given an advantage to you farmers in the rates ; arid as the labourer is essential to the cultivation of the soil, do not crush and trample on him. If wheat continues at this price you must increase his wages—therefore do it with a good grace." These observations were received with cheers of approbation, which showed that the farmers of the neighbourhood felt their applicability. They, we are sure (adds the Jour nalist), will not disregard the feeling which is abroad on the subject. Let them talk over the matter at the Vestry meet ing or the market table—let them treat it with the liberality which the exigencies of the times require, and they will find their reward in the improved conduct and improved appear ance of their dependents—while the blessing of the poor shall rise from a thousand cottages as a thank-offering to that Being who directs the storm, the pestilence, and mildew, and who for seasons past has clothed their fields with the full richness of plenteous harvests. There is evidence in these passages of two facts, first, that the condition of the agricultural labourers in Essex is so bad, as to excite the compassion of the public ; and next, that the farmers are appealed to not to disregard the public feeling. They are exposed, therefore, to two circumstances which, now that the prices of corn are high, will prevent them from putting all the profit into their own pockets. The public calls on them to pay wages, not by the market rate, but by a higher rate, set by its commisseration for the distress of the labourers ; and the dread of " riots;robberies, and bnrnings," operates in the same direction on their own feelings. On the average of prices, or rather considerably above it, as continual deductions of rent prove, the landlord calculates his rack-rent, and squeezes out of the farmer all that he sucks up from the consumer, and leaves him, with numerous branches exposed, wi thered, sapless, and pithless, to the storms of society. Tor years past the landlord's rent has been paid out of the capital of the decaying farmer ; and now, when he might expect by the rise in prices to recover some of his losses, he is assailed by the compassion of the public for his suffering labourers, and by a dread of the mischief their distress may goad them to commit. By demand ing Corn-laws, and promising to pay a large rent if they be continued, the farmer makes himself the agent of the landlords, in extorting for their behoof a tax from the people on their food. If not the actual oppressor, he appears to be the oppressor of the poor. The condi tion of his own labourers, however—the calls of the public on his generosity—and the dread lie has of riots, robberies, and burnings, ought by this time to convince him that he has made a very grievous mistake in de grading his very useful and honourable occupation into that of an extortionate tax-gatherer for idle and worth less landowners. In addition to the letter from Wiltshire, the I article inserted f rom t h e Ch ron i c l e i s wor thy of public attention. That Journal looks forward to the approaching winter with apprehension, and we cer tainly should not be surprised, from the great privations of the agricultural labourers, if their anger and despair were again to blaze forth during the next winter, as in 1830, in many midnight conflagrations. Since the above remarks were written, the Chelms ford Chronicle, published to-day, has reached us, and in that we find a letter remonstrating against the pe remptory call now made on the cultivators of the soil, "to bear exclusively the burthen of the maintenance of a surplus population, created by the indiscreet manner in which the late Poor-law was adminis tered." The shoe pinches, therefore ; the farmers feel the unpleasantness of the public call, and are unwilling to answer it. Of course, if they can avoid answering it they will, and they who will not allow the labourer to buy corn by his labour as cheaply as he can, would think themselves grievously injured if they were not allowed t o buy labour as cheaply as possible. In fact, it is a clear condition of the Corn laws, without which they would be of no use the farmer, that the labourer must be restrained, a to nd he must be at liberty to buy labour on the lowest terms. To interfere and compel him to raise the wa g es of the labourer, is, for him, a virtual repeal of the Corn-laws. Two brief notices will be found in our Paper to day of meetings of the Chartists, and that at Wolvcr bampton is deserving special notice, as the first where any of the leading Liberal politicians of the place have attended, and have endeavoured to convince the people of the greater advantages of repealing the Corn-laws than agitating for the Charter. If such conduct had been more general we should have seen a much brighter prospect before us than at present ; and there are, we are persuaded, several staunch advocates of the repeal, the Corn law Rhymer for example, who must by this time re gret having countenanced a visionary chase instead of practical improvement. In praising Mr. WYNN and Mr. BOLTON for their open conduct, which was duly apreciated by a vote of thanks from the meet ing, we must guard ourselves against being impli cated in their opinions ; staunch:advocates as we are for education, we can never for one moment admit that the working classes of this empire are not at present, by their knowledge, as fit to exercise Universal Suffrage as the Bishops and the landlords to make laws. It is impossible that they could commit greater errors than these latter, or work more mischief and more iniquity. We do not object to Universal Suffrage, which, in our opinion, all men may now practically exercise, but to the time of seeking to obtain its special influence over the House of Commons. We do not therefore agree with Mr. WYNN, though we praise him for boldly stating his opinions. We take the opportunity of adding, that we do not want, to use the language of the Secretary of the meeting, to quiet the people by filling their bellies, for there are too many reforms required ; but, by fill ing their bellies, to give them strength and spirit to achieve the great work, which, if they are to be saved from the condition of the Irish, living on Lumpers, yet stands before them. The abolition of the Corn laws, if they demand it, can be carried with the present representation ; and, to add to the strength and wealth of the working-classes, would only enable them the more easily to obtain all their just ends. We learn from the Bristol Gazelle of yesterday, that there exists in that city three separate Societies which meet annually to commemorate the birth-day of the pious and benevolent EDWARD COLSTON. He lived, we are informed, about two centuries ago, and founded schools and alms-houses in Bristol, and in various parts of the country ; and there exists in that city a splendid establishment for the education of youth, endowed by him at his sole expense, and com fortable abodes which he provided for the reception of the aged and infirm. To commemorate the virtues of such a man must be at all times worthy of notice and praise ; and we rather regret that our limits do not allow us to make some extracts from the reports of the meetings : but it is worthy of double approbation when it is accompanied by an imitation of his good deeds. The gentlemen of Bristol, in commemorating Mr. COLSTON'S birth-day, also meet to subscribe money for charitable purposes, and the amount collected at the three meetings onTuesday last was 2,126/. As the Gazette says, though the citizens of Bristol may be divided in political opinions, they are united in paying a cheerful and liberal response to the call of charity. Of the three Societies, we are informed that one is of decidedly Liberal politics ; a second neutral ; and the third decidedly Tory. It gratifies us to learn, as the Tories boast so much of their great wealth, and their munificence, that the contributions of the Liberal Society was 7581. ; that of the neutral 7301 ; and that of the Tory Society 638/. The sub scriptions we are informed may be taken as a pretty good test of the prevalence of political opinions amongst the inhabitants of the ancient corporate and cathedral city of Bristol, which we are thus happy to learn are decidedly favourable to the Liberal cause. At the meet ing of the Liberals, comprising many of the great mer chants, and most respectable tradesmen of the town, the health of her Majesty's Ministers was received with much applause, and responded to by T. B. HOBnousE, Esq., M.P. for Rochester, in a neat and forcible speech. He concluded, as we shall conclude, by expressing a wish, that meetings for such benevo lent objects may long flourish in the land, and redeem, let us add, its character, if possible, from the stigma lately cast on :t by Ultra-Protestant itinerants, who have called meetings to teach uncharitableness, nourish bigotry, and propagate strife. The ruin of a nation's credit and influence, wherever her power has been recognised for a quarter of a cen tury, must necessarily originate in some error or ne glect on the part of her servants or representatives — in some culpable discrepancy between her first profes sions and her subsequent performances. Now, it is admitted on all hands, that no nation of Western Europe ever arrived at the degree of moral influence which England has done in the east ; and yet, it is as generally apprehended—and, we believe, on very ra tional grounds—that without some extraordinary exertion on our part, our Oriental Empire will become, at no distant period, as untenable as a rope of sand. England is no more exempted from the penalty of her crimes in the Indies, than were any of the Governments that preceded her in the monopoly of Oriental power and commerce. When the Portuguese, in the begin ning of the sixteeenth century, established their do minion in the East, it is almost incredible in how short a time, they contrived to lay the foundation of a cam mercial empire, which appeared as indestructible as their own nationality. In the space of about sixty years, they had firmly established themselves in the small but rich kingdom of Ormuz, commanding the whole trade of the Persian Gulf ; they had a supreme Government at Goa, and rich factories at Muscat, Diu, Damaun, Chaoul, Onor Cananor, Calicut, Cranganor, Choulan, Nizapatam, Meliapour, and the Malaccas, besides a rich pearl fishery at Tutocorin. The Em perors of JAPAN and CHINA treated them with the greatest indulgence, the former permitting them to send as many Missionaries as they pleased to preach the Gospel in his dominions. During the brief union of the crowns of Portugal and Spain, the Grand Council of Castile prohibited the Dutch, then at war with Spain, from entering the port of Lisbon to pur chase the cargoes brought from the Indies ; and to that fatal edict may the Portuguese date the ruin of their naval power. The real cause, howe ver, lay not in this single act of the Home Go vernment. The nation had become so puffed up with an indefinite idea of the immeasurable greatness, riches, and extent of its foreign territory, that such as foresaw danger to their commerce in the despairing efforts of a handful of all but bankrupt Dutch ad venturers were made a public laughing-stock. The united kingdom of Spain and Portugal had the undis puted dominion of the seas ; every Power of any in fluence in India was either her ally or her tributary ; consequently, it was argued, the idea of her suffering in her commercial relations by the Dutch was prepos terous. In the mean time the crimes of her Viceroys and their Courts in the East had raised up a host of secret enemies, who waited only an opportunity to declare against her. Debauched by prosperity and the influence of an enervating climate, equally ignorant and intollerant, they paid no more respect to the per sons of the natives than they did to their civil and re ligious prejudices and institutions. The result is well known. Before the Spaniards and Portuguese could be made sensible of their danger, their commerce received a blow from which itnever recovered. The Dutch, before deemed so contemptible, succeeded them, and before the Batavia ri va ll e d G oa i n lapse of a q m u a a g rt n e i r fic o e f n a ce e . entu ß r i y it the Holland ers h a d not profitedriches and by the errors of their predecessors. t the suav ity of the Portuguese, or the courtly dignity of the Spaniards, they exceeded them in avarice and cruelty. The detention of the Japanese at For mosa, and the butchery of the English at Am boyna, proved that in the pursuit of gain the most atrocious acts were allowable. Evil is ever short-sighted. The cruelties of the Hollanders threw the East India trade into the hands of the English, who, by avoiding the worst enormities of the Portu guese, the Spanish, and the Dutch traders, have suc ceeded in establishing the most extensive empire ever governed by an European Sovereign. This is our present glorious position. Let us inquire what reasons we have for indulging in an apathetic conviction that our dominion in the East is more secure against the incessant intrigues of Russia than that of the Powers whom we have superseded. This inquiry will necessarily occupy more than the limits of one leading article ; but we trust that the great im portance of the subject to all classes in this country, together with the many concurring circumstances which serve to point out the present as a time peculiarly , favourable for such an investigation, will not be with out their proper influence upon the readers of The Sun. Captain WESTMACOTT, of the 37th Bengal In fantry, now about to rejoin his regiment in India, h as just published a pamphlet on "the Present and Fu ture Prospects of our Indian Empire," which will materially assist us in pointing out those errors on the part of the Anglo-Indian Government, which, if not timely amended, must inevitably lead to the total subversio❑ of our power in the East.- Though a work of slight pretension and small compass, Lit will establish the character of the gallant author as an officer well acquainted with the actual state of the country in which he serves, and imbued with an earnest desire to consolidate the power of the British Crown in India. He states his travels in Eastern, Western, and Central India, not to have fallen far short of 8,000 miles—so that with his habits of analysis and inquiry, he had an ample oppor tunity of carefully noting the effect of the British sys tem upon the opinions and conduct of the natives. He assures us that at the present day nothing can be ima gined more culpable than the passiveness of the great body of the British authorities in India. While Rus sia is unwearied in her efforts to extend her political and commercial relations in Central Asia, our Government in the East has shamefully neg lected to avail itself of the offers of the native Princes to secure the navigation of the Indus, by building a strong fortress at Mittun, and thus, be sides opening a trade with three millions and a half of people, with whom we now -carry on no traffic, enabling us to hold the balance between the powerful Chiefs between the Himalaya Mountains and the western bank of that River. His other complaints are, that our physical force in the East is inadequate to the maintenance of our dominion ; that we have not kept, and do no not keep, faith with the native Princes ; that our Missionaries, by the intemperance of their lan guage and absurdity of their conduct, bring the Chris tian religion into disrepute; and that our laws are neither adapted to the habits, the genius, the religion, nor the understanding of the natives. The truth of these sitatements, and their effect upon our Power in the East, will be the subjects of future articles.

ASSESSMENT OF COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. —Ytsterday morning, in accordance with publi c notice, a very numerous meeting of the parishioners of St. Paul, Covent-garden, was held in the Vestry-room of the Church for the purpose of taking into consideration the recent decision of the Magistrates at Petty-sessions, directing a reduction in the assessment of Covent-garden Theatre, and to determine if any and what steps shall be adopted in reference thereto. Mr. Clarke was unanimously called on to preside. Mr. Walker rose to propose " That the Vestry clerk, a id e d b y a C omm i t t ee , b e em p o wered to take legal proceedings in opposition to the late decision of the Bench of Magistrates relative to a reduction in the assessment of the Theatre Royal Covert-garden, at the next quarter or general session." He contended that the proprietors of theatret ( lle er t aer)JusticesT proprietors in i n e allowing the positionouthot to am appeal, inasmuch as tiiey had paid a quarter's rate; and, - therefore,pntohewealeci at the time of th e p u bli cat i on of the g rate, and con sidered deci sionHa of ,hear.) wassait illegal.—p was no matter whether th e J us ti ces at the pett s yse hea n ss v i e o the assessment u nequa l or not, the rat e must be paid, the proprietors not having taken the advantage of appealing within the time prescribed by the Statute.

The Gallant Captain, in conclusion, remarked that the Vestry might feel assured that the proprietors would not shrink from meeting the parochial authorities in any Court of Law to support the decision of the Magistrates.

PROGRESS OF THE BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.-The public will be pleased to hear that this un dertaking is fast progressing from Bristol to Bridgewater, and will, it is expected, be completed to the latter town by Christ mas, 1839. The line will form one of the most interesting in the kingdom, the land being nearly level the whole way, and consequently will have no high embankments, or deep cuttings to contend with, which are so unsightly on most of the rail roads. We are credibly informed that the lane throughout the extensive manor of Banwell, over which the line passes, has been all agreed for, and so judiciously arranged by those who were entrusted with the management on the part of the Com pany, that no objection hasbeen raised by the landowners,.who left the entire management on their parts in the hand of an in fluential gentleman in the neighbourhood, who has so studied their respective convenience in the severance of their estates, that not a single piece of land is left unappropriated, but which is either sold to, or exchanged with, those landowners whose property it adjoins. If this principle were followed up in other parishes, we should hear of little dissatisfaction, or witness so may small plots and corners of valuable fields left as if they were disowned or valueless, which is too apparent on other lines over which we have travelled.—Bristol Gazette. Yesterday the mate of the brig Ellen, now lying in the Pool, in attempting to get on board while in a state of in toxication, missed his footing and was drowned. On Tuesday afternoon a man threw himself from the summit of the southern tower of Notre Dame, and was almost dashed to pieces on the pavement at its foot. An im mense crowd was soon collected by the accident, and accom panied the body to the Morgue, but we have not yet learnt the name of the individual, nor the cause that prompted him to take this means of self-destruction.— Galignani. A gentleman at a musical party where the lady was very particular not to have the concord of sweet sounds inter rupted, was freezing during the performance of a long con certed piece, and seeing that the fire was going out, asked a friend in a whisper how he should stir the fire without inter pupting the music ? " Between the bars," re pli e d t h e f r i end. The investigation into the circumstance of the alleged outrage in the Dover-road was resumed yesterday. A medical gentleman stated that he could discover no marks of violence upon any part of complainant's person, and that if she bad been treated in the brutal manner represented such marks must have existed. A police inspector proved that when the girl was in custody on a charge of creating a dis turbance she had not said a word as to the alleged outrage. Under these circumstances the IV.a.bistrates disch arge d t h e ac cused on the recognizances of her husband. The accused said she could sot account for the conduct of the girl, except on the supposition that she was insane, and the medical gentleman on being asked his opinion, stated that she had spoken to him so incoherently at times that he was inclined to be of the samo e pioiorip During the whole of -yesterday morning the me tropolis was visited with a thick fog, which rendered it ne cessary for all persons employed in offices, shops, manufacto ries, &c., to burn gas, oil, or candles, in order to pursue their several ayopatioN. - • • CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS I)AY.) .ORD KENSINGTON V. THE WEST LONDON AND WESTMINSTER CEMETERY COMPANY. The LORD CSIANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, the arguments in which were concluded yesterday. The case came before his Lordship on appeal from the judgment of his Honour the Vice Chancellor. by which he declared that the defendants, the West London and Westminster Cemetery Company, were bound specifically to perform a contract en tered into by them to purchase certain property from Lord Kensington, for the purpose of forming a Cemetery thereon. The defendants objected to perform the contract on the ground that Lord Kensington, under his marriage settlement, could not make a good title to the property. The Noble Plaintiff in this state of things filed his bill for the purpose of compelling the defendants to perform the contract ; and, upon the case coming on before the Vice-Chancellor ' his Honour made the order that was now appealed from. The Lord Chancellor entertained no doubt whatever as to the propriety of the order of the Vice-Chancellor, observing that if the Company did not feel satisfied with the opinion of one Judge being against them, but must have the judgment of another, they ought to pay the expense of such a proceeding. The appeal must therefore be dismissed, with costs. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with short causes and unopposed petitions. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) FEARY V. STEPHENSON. The object of this suit was to have an administration of the testator's estate, and also certain inquiries for the purpose of ascertaining how far the dealings with the estate have been proper, and such as they ought to have been with reference to the interests of the persons entitled. Mr. KINDLRSLEY, who was in support of the bill, was pro ceeding to state the facts of the case, when—. Mr. PEMBERTON made an objection for want of parties. After some discussion, the case was ordered to stand over Tuesday next, for Mr. Anderton (who was with Mr. Kin dersley) to produce authorities to show it was unnecessary to add parties. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The COURT took the special paper this morning. The cases argued were devoid of the slightest public interest. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) PERGUSSON V. NORMAN. The question in this case, which was on a former occasion argued at great length, and which is of considerable import. ance as regards pawnbrokers, will be best collected from the judgment of the Court, delivered this morning. The COURT said this was an action brought by the assig. nees of a bankrupt, to recover possession of a certain chattel on which the bankrupt had obtained a loan of money from the defendant, a pawnbroker, with whom it had been deposited, and who claimed a lien on it. The plaintiff's case was that the article had not been properly registered, &c., according to the provisions of the Pawnbrokers' Act; that therefore the defen. dant had no legal claim to retain it in his hands. The de. fondant urged that the loan was not to be considered as a pawnbroking transaction, but as an ordinary loan, at 5 per cent. interest, and that so he had a just lien upon the ar ticle, even without complying with the provisions of the Pawn brokers' Act, because it had not been in fact, pledged, but merely left as a common security. The COURT, however, looking to the circumstance that the bankrupt had numerous dealings in pledging with the defend ant, considered that this transaction was to be viewed in the same light, and that the loan was granted by the defendant as a pawnbroker. Now, a pawnbroker, who took a kind of usu rious interest, which was, generally speaking, unlawful, could not claim the protection of the law to any such dealings, un less he strictly complied with the provisions of the Act, un der which alone it could be legal. The defendant, therefore, not having in this case observed those provisions, he had no right to retain the article referred to, for he had no legal lien upon it—so that it must be delivered up to the assignees. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE BRIGHTON PATRIOT-CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Sir F. POLLOCK moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the publisher and proprietor of the Brighton Patriot Newspaper. The article to which he alluded, affected the character of a Gentle man who was formerly Member for the Borough, and who was intimately connected with it • and as it atlected him n o t by general abuse, not by vague slander, which a man might hear with indifference, but charged hi.n with a particular act of criminal delinquency. Mr. Wigney could hardly avoid bringing it under the notice of the Court. The article com plained of, commenced as follows :—The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the article in question, which coupled Mr. Wigney's name with that of a Miss Preston, and was headed, " Mr. Wigney, the ex-Member, and Miss Preston, the ex-Mistress." Sir F. POLLOCK then went on to say that Mr. Wigney was a married man, and had a family of six children, and this article directly charged him with having had a criminal inter course with Miss Preston. This Mr. Wigney, by his affidavit utterly denied, and there was every reason to believe that Miss Preston was not quite right in her mind. She had been in the habit of occasionally pursuing Mr. Wigney, and making demands upon him for money, and at last the parties got Wore the magistrates, when they both denied having had any criminal intercourse with each other. The newspapers, however, proceeded to argue the point, in order to satisfy the public that a criminal intimacy did exist between them. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—Upon my word, I think this is not a case to grant a criminal information. It is more a laughing 'kind of thing than anything else. If Mr. Wigney feels himself aggrieved, he may prefer an indictment ; but it is not that grave kind of case which should be brought before this Court. It is a laughing kind of squib. Sir F. POLLOCK—If your Lordships, after reading the paragraph, can have any doubt there is an intention, through making Mr. Wigney ridiculous to make him unhappy- Rule refused. BOWSTREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Bulgar, 8, Charles -street, Drury-lane, was charged by Mr. Henry D' Emden, dentist, 1, Southampton-street, Strand, under the following circumstances : _ _ _ The complainant stated that the prisoner appeared before the door last evening, having in his hand a number of the Paul Pry, an unstamped publication, and while parading up and down, he called out to every person who happened to pass, " Here is D'Emden, the dentist, No. 1, shown up; here he is, but I shall say nothing of the 1001., as you will find all about it in the Paul Pry, for the small consideration of 2d." Hear ing his name called out in the street he went to the window, and found the prisoner surrounded by about sixty persons, to whom he addressed himself, saying " There he is in the window; see how good-humoured he looks with his spectacles; but I shall say nothing about the 1001., as you can read the whole account in the Paul Pry." Witness then came down, and gave him into custody. Constable, 20 F, proved that when he touk the prisoner into custody, he had the papers produced i❑ his possession. The complainant added tint when at the station-house, the prisoner said he usually singled out such names of persons as there were articles written upon, to cry them out in order to make a quick sale of the papers. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was not guilty of collecting a crowd, but there was a disturbance in the Strand, when he was apprehended, and he intended no harm to the complainant. Mr. TWYFORD said it was an abominable nuisance to have a respectable man's name cried out before his own door, and the complainant might indict the prisoner at the Sessions, if he thought proper, as he should put in bail. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) A middle-aged man, named Joseph Suckling, was placed at the bar, charged by Mr. Martin Lawson with being in his house, No. 23, Sussex street, with another person, for the purpose of committing a felony, yesterday evening. The fol lowing are the facts in the evidence : His servant went out for about five minutes, and upon her return found the door open, and a man in the hall ; he made his escape when he saw her. Mr. Lawson followed, and saw him standing in Poitman.market, with another man. The latter was captured after a long chase to Tottenham-court road, but the former escaped. When taking the prisoner to the station-house, he threw away a key, which was found to open Mr. Lawson's door, and on searching him, five more were found, each of different formation. Two of the officers, and Jones, the gaoler, said he was known to them these 14 years as a most disreputable charac ter.—Committed for three months to the House of Correction, James Beverley, a sweep, was committed for fourteen days to the House of Correction, for stealing some dust in Portland-place. He was prosecuted at the instance of Mr. Staples, of Paddington, who pays 2,0091. a year for the pri vilege of removing this apparently valueless commodity in this district. Two boys, named Backhurst and Malone, were fully com mitted to Newgate for stealing three silk handkerchiefs from the shop of Mr. Arnold, 72, Benson-street. They went in under the pretence of buying a pair of braces, and while the shopman was engaged with one, the other purloined the goods. .Lllen Craven and Ann Staples were remanded until next Monday, on the charge of passing bad coin at a public-house in Mortimer-street. IRISH REAPERS.—The Irish reapers, who have finished their hail est work, are proceeding in thousands to their homes, per the Belfast steamers, from Glasgow. On Tuesday morning about fifteen hundred went off in the Rapid, and several hundreds in another steamer. It is a rule that they surrender their shillelahs and hooks, knives, &c., to be locked up till they land. The more belligerent amongst them yielded with reluctance, and were not convinced of the pro priety of the measure until satisfied that there was not sufeelent room on board for a good fight. —Glasgow Papers A follow named Brown was yesterday sentenced to two months' imprisonment, by the sitting Magistrate at Guild, hall, for laving on Wednesday night, about, ten o'clock, snatched a gentleman's hat from leis viktilo passing along Cheapside t and attempting t 9, off with it, THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
